About this artwork
This painting was part of a pair inspired by the writings of Dr. Rob MacDonald, architect and academic with lived experience of bipolar. The work was created for a planning conference where it was used to illustrate Rob's discussion about the role that spaces can make on our sense of well-being.
This is an extract from Rob's paper: “Sad George sits on a chair in a corner never speaking; despite having a frightening story too tell. It’s bottled… into the corner with him. The mental hospital Is the ultimate interior world. Breaking out results in being locked down into another small space of seclusion, an inner room without a window. Even a prison cell has a window".
